More Binder Stuff - Euphonium (freebies)

Is it a Euphonium, or a Baritone? For all intensive purposes, I will use only the term euphonium. Hence, the handouts will only be in bass clef. You may adapt them on your own if you'd like to accommodate your treble clef players.

Also, many or all of the warm-ups for Euphonium may also be utilized for Trombone and vice versa.

I'll first start this post by giving you a few articles. The first is from a clinic by Joe Pruitt at the Texas Bandmasters Association (TBA) Convention on Intermediate Euphonium.

The next article gives many tips on teaching beginning Euphonium players (again from a TBA convention).

Beginner Euphonium Teaching Tips

The next article I'm sharing should apply to all the low brass instruments. Well, actually to all the wind instruments in the band. It gives great breathing tips.

Tips for Optimal Breathing

Here is a basic fingering chart. It does not include the fourth valve, so you would need to have the students write in where they should use the fourth valve (1-3 = 4 or 1-2-3 = 2-4).

I was able to locate many exercises for the students. Some may be too advanced, but if you have students taking private lessons, they can work on them with their private teacher.

Here are the Daily Drill exercises which include the Cichowicz exercises.

Here are some Daily Routine Exercises (different from the Daily Drills).

And last, but not least, the simple lip slurs for your beginners. Please have your students mark in their fourth valve fingerings (in the other exercises as well). They need to know when/how to use the fourth valve.

When I was starting to write this blog, I realized I didn't have very much information about the euphonium, so I scoured the internet. In doing so, I found some more trumpet, horn, and trombone exercises to share. I will make sure to post those on a future blog post. Tomorrow's post will be on the Tuba (BBb). I have a lot of information, so make sure you're ready! :)
